In this episode we explore the topic of friendship and finding your people.  We talk about how our own friendship developed, what friendship means, how this is different for everyone, and also how to go about finding your people if you haven’t found them yet. 

The main takeaway we took from this episode was how finding your people is deeply routed with being true to yourself. The people who love you the most, will be the ones you are able to be truly you around and don’t judge you for who you are.

This weeks episode explores the topic of dyslexia, a learning difficulty that mainly affects an individuals ability to read and write, but it can span across many other things including organisation and communication. We talk to professional artist, Alice Irwin about her battles with dyslexia as a child and how she has learnt to communicate in her own way. She talks about how she struggled as a young teenager to navigate the difficulties she experienced, but how she has come to understand her dyslexia and open up about it.

We hope this episode inspires everybody out there to be open about the challenges they are facing and embrace their uniqueness. If you or somebody you know struggles with dyslexia, we hope this also improves the understanding around it.

As always, we end the episode with our two truths.
